Don’t Forget

It was still dark when Mark arrived
Maybe 6: 45 in the morning time
In the tenth grade, we was tight friends
But neither of us had a driver's license
His aunt was a flight attendant
And she'd leave town with
A Cadillac unattended
So we used to get tempted
That intense tendency to tend to
What we wasn't meant to
We would skip out on class and shit
To go visit other schools
Just tryin to act cool
And looking back I have to laugh at it
Cause all we did was burn up
Gas and flunk math fool
But still it was super ill
I mean two teenagers in a new Seville
With 1987 in the tapedeck
That was a part of my
Life that I'll never forget it went

The soundtrack still runs through my head
I gotta keep every single step
As old as we get, we don't forget
We won't forget we don't forget
The soundtrack still runs through my head
I gotta keep every single step
As old as we get, we don't forget
We won't forget we don't forget

And you can't tell me nothing about frontin
We wasn't even sixteen yet, come on jump in
Cruise control until we lose control
Max the low end out to let it bruise my soul
And god knows I should have been studying
So maybe I could grow up and be somebody
But I loved the looks that the girls
Shot at me from the bus stop
When we pulled up in that caddy
Good thing back then I had bad game
Otherwise there probably be a few
With my last name
Better that my true love was rap
Now let it auto reverse
Until the bad dub snaps
Felt so right, forgot we was wrong
Sittin at a stop light, singin along
When I look in my rearview now
What would I see
If I didn't have the music in my history
Now give it to me

The soundtrack still runs through my head
I gotta keep every single step
As old as we get, we don't forget
We won't forget we don't forget
The soundtrack still runs through my head
I gotta keep every single step
As old as we get, we don't forget
We won't forget we don't forget

And we was just a couple of kids
It was right around the same time
That nobody was beatin the biz
Had that, and I know you got soul
On a tape that I made
Recorded em off a Travitron show
(here we go) i was addicted to the radio
Make my request, and wait for it
Holdin my finger on the pause button
Like "now go"
I guess that was the original download
Rap videos and girls digit's
A fifteen pack of blank
Cassettes for Christmas
Used to steal mom's change if it's easy to
We used to make up names
For our graffiti crew
Used to talk about makin it big
And if we ever got rich
The way we would live
Hey Mark, we ain't there yet but
If you can hear my voice
Then turn your stereo up, like what

The soundtrack still runs through my head
I gotta keep every single step
As old as we get, we don't forget
We won't forget we don't forget
The soundtrack still runs through my head
I gotta keep every single step
As old as we get, we don't forget
We won't forget we don't forget
